Cute, short, story about a prince and a famous actress who get drunk and elope.
Definitely a fun idea for a story.
They're practically strangers when they marry and everyone expects them to get an annulment. But they know there's a reason they got married in the first place and they start to wonder whether annulling their marriage might be a mistake.
I got to read an early e book edition from NetGalley.

This premise has been done many times and it's okay I just felt it's been done better.

I requested this book in a lazy saturday afternoon with Cátia, when we were wondering why we were requesting so few Netgalley titles of late. So, we requested this one because it sounded super cute, and hey, Royalty! But guys, I can not call this a book per se, it’s a freaking novella, and a quite short one at that.
But okay, I’m truly complaining about the short size, because I felt like this could have been a full blown book. The premise was interesting, and these characters would have had much more space to grow and be fleshed out. The story is also told in an unusual format, as it jumps between the present and the past (as in, the day before). The whole book takes place in 2 days, but the story is not told linearly, but while the present is moving forward, the past is going backwards, and it wasn’t the easiest way to get a sense of this story.
I actually liked the characters, and I felt like Alex and Serena had great chemistry, but I wanted to get to know them a little more, and I wanted their connecting a little bit more explored.
Overall it was a fun read, and a great premise. But ultimately it needed more pages, more words, more development. This could have easily been a full novel, and I would have loved to read that. With that said, I would still very much like to read more about Prince Alex and Serena.

Cute, quick read. A little confusing at first with the diverging timelines. I really would have preferred that this was a longer book. I really like the writer's style and the characters. I wanted more!

3.5 stars. A very well written short novella with the sort of dual timeline that is very hard to pull off but Elizabeth Davis manages to do it brilliantly.
Alex and Serena are cute and funny and despite the shortness you can feel the chemistry between them. I did, however, feel.that the characters could be a little more fleshed out and the ending a little less quick, but those shortcomings are a result of to the shortness.
Most of all, though, I wish this were a full-length novel, because I am sure it would have been perfect.

I would like to thank netgalley and Elizabeth Davis for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
This is super cute! A really quick read but worth it.
